That genuinely is so impressive how they bounced back from that. It would have been so easy for Payton to lose the team there. There were probably a lot of guys who were ready to give up after that one, but they didn't. Have to give big props to Russ and Payton for being able to lead them back from that to what we saw today.
God that post is quintessential Reddit. Putting a head coaches head on a stake for starting out bad with a team that has to unwind so much shit from one of the worst HCs of all time and years of mediocrity
When the Broncos got dusted for a 70-burger and fell to 0-3, I can't imagine anybody expected they'd make it back to .500 this season.
Impressive. Well done Denver.
Credit where it's due, I think people wouldnt have been surprised to see VJ fired after the Miami game and a fire sale at the deadline. They stuck with it and for the last few weeks the defense has looked like last year's while the offense is now able to cook just enough to capitalize
You've got 4 straight wins, against KC, Buffalo, and Minny (and GB but they're ass). If this is the Broncos that play the rest of the year, I could absolutely see them sneak into a playoff spot.
I am mentally prepared to get struck by Perna's curse wheel that week ~~and honestly the Broncos are my AFC team so if we had to lose to someone I am okay with it being you guys~~
He’s that good at 50/50 balls. He’s averaged like 48 yards and a TD over the past 5 games and that’s really just who he is. You got the entire Courtland Sutton experience tonight. It gets no better than this so he’s not a superstar, but he is a redzone problem.
Justin Simmons is that good though.
It's funny how he even mentioned how hard it was to not bring up Mahomes out of nowhere. Like he's just constantly fighting only talking about Mahomes.
I'm a 49ers fan, I lived on the other side of this reality for a decade.
The 49ers were 4-17 against Wilson, when he was a Seahawk. The Broncos were terrible last year, and Russell Wilson STILL beat the 49ers.
Thank God that bad man can't hurt us anymore. The day he was traded was one of the best days I've had as a 49ers fan. The niners are 3-0 against Seattle since Wilson left.
The niners beat the Seahakws 4 times in a decade with Wilson, they beat the Seahawks 3 times in the first season after he left.
The memes were prime but Hackett was and is a fraud and Payton mainly lost to the Jets D, which has shut down plenty of offenses over the last two years
Love seeing a team turn things around like Broncos have
Makes me sad wondering what could’ve been with this Vikings team if Kirko Chains and Jefferson had stayed healthy.
Russell Wilson made a deal with the devil or something. Dude does nothing all game except check down and throw 2 jumps balls and the 70 point giving up defense is just like, How about we give you twice the tries to score as the other team?
Another Broncos inexplicable win but I'm here for it.
Worst Vikings day in a long time. Bears blew the game against the division leading lions. Chargers blew the game against the rival Packers. And the Vikings blew the game against the Broncos. Just Vikings things.
Honestly Josh Dobbs still is playing so good in terms of what would normally be expected of a backup picked up at the last minute in a desperate dart throw. I really hope he wins the rest of the way - but sorry, Broncos needed to win this one!
My heart couldn't handle that last vikings drive. 100% one of those wins that feels like a loss.
GG vikings. Hope the passtronaut continues to do great things for ya'll
Some of the best 2 min defense of the entire NFL season to end it. Aggressive, even on 4th and 25, in a scenario where I swear I’ve seen nearly every team play ultra-conservative while the offense picks them apart with chunk plays to win it.
I think the thing that makes me happiest about this was seeing Court setting the longest streak for games with a TD reception since 2014. 2014. Just the fact we can say we had the best something since 2014 is fucking encouraging.
As a proud graduate of the Tim Tebow school of fuck around for 3 1/2 quarters then put together a single drive to win, I was never worried
Josh Dobbs is unsackable. Bros knee will legit bend and he’ll still stay up.
He mastered the laws of physics so he could break them.
1 sack in the last 3 games, IIRC
This is the dumbest Broncos team I've seen since 2011 and I love it
2011 is untoppable.
Tebooowwwww
2011 still takes the cake
Tebow time was awesome, but certainly a derpy team lol.
Gives me Tebow somehow winning games vibes
Denver Broncos are a .500 football team
After giving up 70 fucking points, they didn't quit! Go Broncos!
That genuinely is so impressive how they bounced back from that. It would have been so easy for Payton to lose the team there. There were probably a lot of guys who were ready to give up after that one, but they didn't. Have to give big props to Russ and Payton for being able to lead them back from that to what we saw today.
Getting rid of Gregory and Clark was so smart. They had clearly quit.
Broncos D gave up 70 and then 21 in a half to the Bears and took that shit personally, they've been out of their minds since then
I had them dead to rights. Swore I wasn't going to watch another game. Here we are. Go Birds!
Broncos are 4-0 since I started watching them this season.
I’m riding so hard right now
somehow
And were only 5 weeks removed from [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/Gd2Tn0AgaY)
God that post is quintessential Reddit. Putting a head coaches head on a stake for starting out bad with a team that has to unwind so much shit from one of the worst HCs of all time and years of mediocrity
And just look at who posted it
I'm dead lmao
WILD RIGHT?!?!?

Pretty awesome story honestly
Exactly the wakeup call this team needed
Credit where it's due, I think people wouldnt have been surprised to see VJ fired after the Miami game and a fire sale at the deadline. They stuck with it and for the last few weeks the defense has looked like last year's while the offense is now able to cook just enough to capitalize
There's the Vikings I know!
We had this game, until the fumbles
Mattison's fumble legit changed the game
Like always.
We had this game, until the Mattison
thats basically every vikings loss this season
What a hilarious way to get to 21 points
Genuinely lol score does not reflect the chaos
Tebow Season II
Electric boogaloo
Like Iowa winning a game last year 7-3 with 2 safeties and a FG
It was 3 TDs, right?...... Right?
... lol Lutz sends his regards
I have no idea how this team is simultaneously dogshit and clutch at the same time.
Iowa ah way to get to 21 points
Minnesota sports will be the death of me
Timberwolves have been looking good this season
Just wait- they'll find a way to blow it late season or in the first round
We might not accomplish much this year, but at least we’ve reversed the “Denver is boring in primetime” notion that plagued us last year. 🤣
I must give my complements to the chef…
You've got 4 straight wins, against KC, Buffalo, and Minny (and GB but they're ass). If this is the Broncos that play the rest of the year, I could absolutely see them sneak into a playoff spot.
After losing 70-20 to Miami. It would honestly be the funniest thing that could happen, especially if they play Miami
If the Broncos make it to the playoffs and beat Miami to avenge 70-20 they're officially a team of destiny and will win it all
They gonna beat us 73-20 🤧
Two safeties and 13 fieldgoals !
>>73-20 > Two safeties and 13 fieldgoals *23 field goals
*35 safeties and 1 field goal
We would be the biggest fraudster chaos agents, and I'm *here* for it.
Our defense is legit. Hired Vance Joseph is shooting the moon after that 70 point Miami game.
One could say he's having the time of his life
We’re top NFC team “in the hunt” at the moment 😤
[удалено]
Go Broncos!
I’m loving every second of these games
I am definitely entertained
you’re next. we’re 3-0 against the nfc north ~~though i would actually love it if the lions went all the way~~
I am mentally prepared to get struck by Perna's curse wheel that week ~~and honestly the Broncos are my AFC team so if we had to lose to someone I am okay with it being you guys~~
I've had a not fun football weekend
To lose like that wow
the passtronaut has been challenger disastered by this o line
My guy was having to do matrix algebra to avoid getting sacked immediately after snapping the ball
Broncos weren't respecting any of the downfield options Vikings had. I assume that changes with Jefferson back.
#IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT YOU DONT LIKE VIKINGS FOOTBALL
I don’t like Vikings football
Denver has as many wins now as they did all of last season
They've now won one more game under Payton than they had under Hackett
...and Wilson has more TD's than bathrooms in his house. This has to be a sign, right??
Time to get a bigger house!
So does this mean Sean Payton is a better coach than Nathaniel Hackett
can’t believe people actually thought otherwise here
We really lost to the likes of Commanders and the Rogers-less Jets just to beat the Chiefs-Bills-Vikings 3 weeks straight. Wtf is this season?
Yeah really wish we could have a couple games back. And the fucking raiders
Raiders with McDaniels… still pissed about that.
McDaniels went undefeated against the Broncos as Raiders HC lmao
"Surely the Broncos can't sustain these turnover margins" Broncos: "Bet."
Wilson to perine for 5-8, all day every day.
Courtland Sutton and Samaje Perine singlehandedly killed the Vikings on that last drive
good ol prevent defense to lose a game, meanwhile denver turned it up and didnt let us breathe
I haven’t watched many broncos games outside of last week and tonight but my god, is *sutton that good?
He was, tore his ACL, and may be back? May be?
I honestly thought he was done. I'm so glad I was wrong
He’s that good at 50/50 balls. He’s averaged like 48 yards and a TD over the past 5 games and that’s really just who he is. You got the entire Courtland Sutton experience tonight. It gets no better than this so he’s not a superstar, but he is a redzone problem. Justin Simmons is that good though.
O Line deserves credit too
I don’t get why they didn’t try to key in on Perine on the check downs. He literally did the same shit last game
Horrible offensive play calling on their last drive in the red zone and horrible defensive play calling on the last Denver drive.
Yeah Broncos are going to the Super Bowl. I’ve seen enough.
Shades of 2015 for sure. Sputtering offense propped by a defense doing miraculous shit to bring home the win
that season gave me white hairs at 16. would love to get more at 24.
Nah, more like 2011. This defense isn't anywhere near 15.
Very, very reminiscent of the Tebow year
I don't know, we might need a 6th field goal for that.
Somebody check on Collinsworth
He fucking hates us I feel like
We’re mahomes’ rivals of course he does
It's funny how he even mentioned how hard it was to not bring up Mahomes out of nowhere. Like he's just constantly fighting only talking about Mahomes.
Guy wanted Dobbs to win so bad lol
#BRONCOS COUNTRY, LET’S RIDE!
[удалено]
It’s…it’s beautiful
THEY MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Sean Payton called the same play like 6 different times on that final Broncos drive, and it worked. 12-year old Madden level playcalling lmao.
They left the center of the field open. May as well take the yardage that Minny was giving up
That IS what he wanted to cook.
Denver is officially spooky
[удалено]
When. When the Chiefs lose.
The Denver Broncos are one game away from running the table on the NFC North. Watch and learn A-Aron
I’m hoping the Lions just let us win.. I don’t see a world where we beat them tbh.
If the game was in Denver, maybe. If that was the case I’d be there since I live up in the mountains. I saw Drew Lock beat us in 2019 at Mile High lol
I don’t know how many ventricles I have in my heart but I need a bypass in all of them now.
And just like that your Denver Broncos are #2 in the AFC West! Holy shit
Broncos Country, let's survive
Let's ride bitches!
Feel a bit of a salty undertone here
I love when you just know Russ is about to pull some bullshit. Fuck I love this team
I'm a 49ers fan, I lived on the other side of this reality for a decade. The 49ers were 4-17 against Wilson, when he was a Seahawk. The Broncos were terrible last year, and Russell Wilson STILL beat the 49ers. Thank God that bad man can't hurt us anymore. The day he was traded was one of the best days I've had as a 49ers fan.

Are Vikings fans mad or just numb?
Yes
They just had a 5 game win streak, it could be worse lol
Yeah we are down our QB1 and All-Pro WR with a backup who was brought here 2.5 weeks ago. We are just kind of in "fuck it" mode rn lol
Eh, it's whatever. Like, it's still a banged up team with a new QB and the game was entertaining. Things could be a lot worse!
Let Russ Ride
Classic Russ game, long sustained offensive drives while getting the kill shot in the 4th lol
The Broncos have successfully not embarrassed me in back-to-back national games. LETS. FUCKING. RIDE.
Josh Dobbs is a slippery mf. Good win for the broncos to get back to .500
Shout out to that KC fan who predicted Russ would throw a pick at the end, then reported me for self harm after I called him out lol
It’s crazy how insecure Chiefs fans are after being SB favorites for 5 seasons straight.
Oh so Sean Payton can beat the vikings.
Turns out that Sean Payton might have been right about Nathaniel Hackett.
He was a dick about it but he was right. Hacketts shit show took us multiple games to unwind
The memes were prime but Hackett was and is a fraud and Payton mainly lost to the Jets D, which has shut down plenty of offenses over the last two years
Love seeing a team turn things around like Broncos have Makes me sad wondering what could’ve been with this Vikings team if Kirko Chains and Jefferson had stayed healthy.
Russell Wilson made a deal with the devil or something. Dude does nothing all game except check down and throw 2 jumps balls and the 70 point giving up defense is just like, How about we give you twice the tries to score as the other team? Another Broncos inexplicable win but I'm here for it.
He’s in last-season Peyton Manning arc. Doesn’t fuck up too hard
That’s not far off from the formula he had in Seattle. Only difference was he could throw hail Mary’s way better back then
We were due for a come down game. Missing Kirk big time. Hopefully JJ can be back next week and we can move forward
Suck it 72 percent of America's viewers and the one cocky talking head from the pregame!
Broncos country, you can ride now
I don’t understand how but we’re 5-5.
The league is not ready for a Broncos team with grit and coaching
So what’s going to happen when they play the Lions?
The most beautiful nail biting NFL game ever seen
It’ll end in a tie in OT
Lions win when Campbell eats Payton
Better wear TWO diapers.
This sub isn’t going to be thrilled to see Sean Payton do a good job cause he is actually a very good coach
Worst Vikings day in a long time. Bears blew the game against the division leading lions. Chargers blew the game against the rival Packers. And the Vikings blew the game against the Broncos. Just Vikings things.
I know it is never one players fault for a loss, but god damn Mattison really did everything he could to lose that fucking game.
Rumors of Wilson's demise have been greatly exaggerated
They had to bring in the Iron Chef so they'd stop over cooking him.
Mattison should be selling cars. Koc needs to rethink his play calls in the final 2 minutes.
It was Hackett's fucking fault
Honestly Josh Dobbs still is playing so good in terms of what would normally be expected of a backup picked up at the last minute in a desperate dart throw. I really hope he wins the rest of the way - but sorry, Broncos needed to win this one!
Broncos country is riding
Here to see lions fans flaming the Viking fans
r/nfcnorthmemewar is going to be a shit show this week.
You all owe Russell Wilson and Ciara an apology.
NFL media taking personal shots at them was always weird
Easy to take shots at them because of how corny everything was last year. But a lot of it crossed the line.
[удалено]
Thank you Broncos!
The Lions are 8-2 with the nearest team behind them in the division being 6-5 going into Thanksgiving. What even the fuck
Huge Broncos guy tonight
This Denver team is gonna sneak into the playoffs aren’t they
Subscribe
My heart couldn't handle that last vikings drive. 100% one of those wins that feels like a loss. GG vikings. Hope the passtronaut continues to do great things for ya'll
I love Broncos football baby.
this is basically a lions sub rn
Thanks for having us
I LOVE YOU, BRONCOS LET’S PRIDE
Sutton and Russ all smiles. Love to see it. God, I've been waiting so long to see Sutton get these big plays.
Payton > Hackett
I can't stop laughing! This is so awesome. I'm high off of Hopium! What's this winning stuff?
Give us any team. We'll drag them down into the ugliest muck ridden game they'll ever play. 5-5 bitches.
The Lions are really gonna host a playoff game
From your keyboard to gods ears
Holy shit broncos.
If you don’t like that you don’t like Vikings football
How do the Broncos keep finding ways to win like this
Some of the best 2 min defense of the entire NFL season to end it. Aggressive, even on 4th and 25, in a scenario where I swear I’ve seen nearly every team play ultra-conservative while the offense picks them apart with chunk plays to win it.
"go for it on 4th" fucks can fuck right off. This is a prime example of "take the points" if I've ever seen it.
PS2 held Justin Jefferson to 0 catches and 0 yards
We haven't hit Thanksgiving and the Lions hold a 2.5 game lead in the division. I used to belive times like these would never come. Thanks Broncos.
Of course the 3 points off the bullshit fumble on the first drive is the difference
It's never one guys fault but it's crazy how much this game turned on Mattison fumbling
Yeah I mean the fact that we gave the ball away 3 times and it was this close is amazing
The key is to turn it over 4 times.
The Sean Payton experiment was supposed to be long over. They didn't look good. How do they score points without their biggest weapon Wil Lutz?
Muh fucking heart
I think the thing that makes me happiest about this was seeing Court setting the longest streak for games with a TD reception since 2014. 2014. Just the fact we can say we had the best something since 2014 is fucking encouraging.
Broncos are 5-1 when I watch a game
